With several players potentially leaving through free agency
beginning next week, it's clear that the New England Patriots need help at wide
receiver and cornerback. And ESPN draft expert Todd McShay sees it the same
way.

In his third mock draft of the year, McShay has the
Patriots focusing on the secondary, albeit with a name that we haven't seen to
this point. He believes that New England will stay close to home by selecting
UConn cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson.

McShay acknowledges that the pick may be a bit of a reach, but
he believes Wreh-Wilson (6-foot-1, 195 pounds) would be a solid fit in New
England's defense.

"Wreh-Wilson, who has
come on strong in the draft process, could be a nice fit here. Most don't have
him in the first round, and he might not go this early after running the 40 in
the 4.5-second range at combine.

"But we think he's an
underrated talent with size, body control, instincts and toughness against the
run. He's just a really good football player. Also, he was selected as a team
captain both as a junior and senior and was well respected by coaches and
teammates. He's also extremely intelligent and accountable, and possesses a
good work ethic."

Wreh-Wilson, a
four-year player, recorded 131 tackles and eight interceptions during his four
years at UConn. He ran a 4.53 40-yard dash at the combine and had a 36-inch
vertical jump.
